IT'S THE MOTHER, FINALLY

Bears.
Beets.
Battlestar Galactica.

I don't care about the reception to last night's episode… I'm still optimistic and happy

At the end of the episode I felt like Michael in his penultimate episode

This was classic season 2 hysterical laughter for me… the entire plot of Dwight becoming his own assistant was perfect. And Jim's little subtle lines like to Phyllis when she said the coffee was hot "Yeah, it's real… only way you'll learn" Classic Jim

I was dying of laughter when I saw that… plus they both looked out the window through the blinds just like Dwight and Michael did in the past

I figured it was all apart of the Dreamatorium because I thought I saw that wall pattern on the floor when Evil Jeff teleported into the Dean's office. That could have been a better explanation of the Darkest Timeline, especially Abed getting his own plot. And I REALLY thought that was the case when Jeff and Abed were

Penny looked phenomenal at the bar in that red dress… ah-mah-zing

Whether or not it's logical for the show (as Todd points out, it likely isn't), I still enjoyed the conclusion to the episode and ending Britta/Troy. Maybe it felt rushed or a surprise since we weren't given clues they felt this way about the relationship, but it still landed well with that final hug.

"Can't I just keep pretending I'm your son"
"You are my son"

Don mentioned him before, I believe saying "He was nice to me" or something like that.

Max's matter of fact delivery of "Oh my god, she's crazy" was perfect.

Early responses seem negative… But I loved it.

It might have been just as bad in the past, but now I'm fully convinced they're just messing with AMC and the audience with these promos.

I took notice of Don's efforts with his new friend, but I immediately want to rewatch their scenes knowing Don's sleeping with the guy's wife. Very well done.

That's how you get ants.

Winston forgetting to take off his phone was a great little joke.

he really should drop that last 55 pounds

She was terrific. Her subtle responses to Nick doing responsible things like doing the laundry, trying to keep calm when he was yanking his chain, then just exploding when he said he wanted a salad. The material was well written, but could have been just OK if delivered poorly. Zooey was really strong.

that entire exchange had me hysterically laughing.
